The History Channel program last night was also excellent
It'll probably be rebroadcast soon. I really enjoy getting to see the actual people involved in a historic event. Nothing in the History Channel program contradicted the movie. Instead, it helped fill in a lot of the background events that led up to the battle, including the slauder of over 20 Pakistani UN "peacekeeping" troops and the mutilation of their bodies. That event along with the Ranger Code was a factor in the number of losses suffered recovering bodies.
